The Furaozhuang Tomb Cluster

The Furaozhuang Tomb Cluster

The Furaozhuang Tomb Cluster is a cultural heritage protection unit of Shandong Province.

The Furaozhuang Tomb Cluster is located in Furaozhuang Village, Wenshui Town, Pingyi County. It dates back to the Song Dynasty. In 2013, the Furaozhuang Tomb Cluster was designated as part of the fourth batch of Provincial-Level Cultural Heritage Protection Units by the People's Government of Shandong Province.

The ancient tomb cluster in Furaozhuang, Pingyi County, is currently the largest and most prominently scaled Song Dynasty tomb complex discovered in Shandong Province. Although many of the burials are secondary interments and several larger tombs have been disturbed by looting, a number of valuable artifacts have still been unearthed. Tomb epitaphs were the most significant finds of this archaeological excavation, with a total of six discovered — four unearthed during this excavation, and two others excavated in 1970 but collected during the survey for this project. These six epitaphs are rich in content, feature exquisite calligraphy, and hold considerable historical, literary, and artistic value.
